Votes on whoever hasn't posted for random voting stating it creates pressure for them to post. This allows him to skip contributing to early discussion

436. He makes sure everyone knows that they shouldn't town read him based on dayvig. This leans scum it shows concern for managing how other view him
896 asks other to summarize the cases against themselves (this is just wierd but null)
Really he posted a lot early with low content then dropped to the background (though some was vla). Similar to flubbs profile.
That's about what I have on Istot
1: I don't really see how that's bad. I was trying to get people to post, and I did contribute to the discussion.
2: I don't see what is wrong with this specifically.
3: I always care how others view me. I AM a newbie, you realise? Im not strong at hunting scum. And besides, I was agreeing with other people that said it was a null tell.
4: I ask this question, regardless of alignment. I'm surprised that no one answered it though.
5: This is not the only game I've been less active in. It's for a RL reason.
1. It doesn't work, voting for a player who hasn't posted won't make a player post sooner so there is no value to the town. Doing it allows you to vote for people without having to have reasons.
2. It's the end of day 1 lots of stuff has happened. You haven't commented on flubbs, droog, AWA or any of happenings. I realize you have been busy recently but having very low content for 88 posts is scummy.
3. Fair enough, if it is because you are no I would advise not asking directly how someone views you it is not productive to draw suspicion to yourself. To me the question is scummy.
4. I haven't seen it asked. What are you looking for when asking someone to self read?
5. Fair enough, it's always tough to tell RL afk from lurking.
1: No RVS votes have valid reasons, because they are random. I prefer not to just vote randomly (I did with OC, but ive realised now Its not for me), and instead opt to do something instead. Pressure votes dont always work, but they dont always do nothing.
2: Wait, I havent shown my reads? Crap :/ My bad!
3: When did i directly ask how someone viewed me?
4: I look for misunderstandings, lies, and contradictions. Town responses will generally benefit them, as if they dont have as solid a grasp on the case against them, the misunderstanding is brought to light and it allows a town to better defend themselves. Conversely, a scum has to think more deeply about why they are being voted. They have to put themselves in the shoes of a town voting them, which is difficult and can lead to mistakes. Its not a perfect question though, and its main purpose is just to help everyone understand eachother.
5: Yeah.
PS: 1000th post!
